Serotype distribution of invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal disease in adults ≥65 years of age following the introduction of 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines i... by Patricia Izurieta, Dorota Borys

“…The predominant non-PCV13 serotypes identified in both manifestations were serotypes 8, 12F, 15A, and 22F.ConclusionThe persistence of certain PCV13-serotypes in pneumococcal disease among adults aged ≥65 years suggests that herd immunity by infant PCV immunization may be insufficient to provide optimal protection in this population. This, coupled with emerging non-PCV13 serotypes due to serotype replacement and other limitations of current vaccines, supports the need for new vaccination technologies and strategies to improve protection of older adults.…”
